gnarf Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hello, does this demon wolves thing mean you are moveing away from "realistic" to just like all the other games with zombies and creatures of fantasy and all this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for Halloween. However, the wolves are still kinda gamey to begin with cause they spawn to guard loot and respawn quickly. Theyre agressive because of the Event, however. So that has a reason backing their behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not at all. And we already concede the Wolf behavior in The Long Dark shouldn't be taken as a 1:1 match with wolves in "real life." As we said in the announcement this is an experiment, and something we hope the community has fun with. I wouldn't use it as a predictor of any changes coming to the "standard" game.

Excellent. A bountiful Canadian Thanksgiving perhaps? What I'm most curious about is our character burning her hand when she goes to pick up the pie in the trailer. Is it a fun addition or a hint at the new cooking mechanic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawshoob Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Oh boy! This sounds like a ton of fun. I am willing to try anything at least once . Thanks Devs! Should be a spooky good time for the Halloween season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

togg Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm excited Those little special things added once in a while are really good, maybe they can also give the devs some opportunity to relax and do something more "silly" without the fear of having it in stone for long time.

vancopower Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I noticed something at the end, the pie was cooking by itself. Is this going to be a feature soon probably in the next update or it is just a part of this event ? I would love to get my hands on more cooking recipes than just roasting meat all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighwayBill Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Cool! I think I'll play pilgrim for the weekend to keep the fun factor alive (pun intended?). As for the ow it's hot hot hot - I think a pie would stay plenty hot on top of a cast iron wood burning stove... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleyQuinn Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 You guys consistently amaze me. What a treat (lol) to have some fun bonus content when y'all are already up to your eyeballs in work!

Patrick Carlson Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The Four Days of Night Event is now Live! One note for Xbox One players--depending on your region of the world, it can take some additional time for the update to reach you, but it will! And feel free to share videos, screenshots, fan creations, and anything else from your dark adventure in the appropriate sub-forum so we can all take a look. Have fun and good luck this weekend everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyzara Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Haha, Interloper with perma-night is certainly fun. It is, however, unexpectedly relaxing if you don't have to worry about the time of day any more. Really like the new experience so far, although I have yet to see what's so demonic about the wolves now.^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underthetrees Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Great. Really looking forward to trying this out. +1 for in-game events tied to the calendar. perpetual light or dark on the solstices, light snow all Christmas week, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willski Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Sorry, but I hate this... or at least the fact that it's mandatory. Taking away player choice is ALWAYS a bad move. Can you please make this optional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustaaf Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Trying to resume my current Hunted Bear Part II. This in game darkness seems fun until I step out of the cabin, and -32 Celsius smacks me during what is day time. I usually try to wait until the day has 8hrs left, to get better weather... but eesh it seems its still deep freeze mode. Does this darkness also bring a deep freeze challenge? With limited resources available in this challenge mode, it seems I am going to luck out play this event and wont be able to do so for the next four days? I wish I could opt out, I just want to play regular. Perhaps I will push through darkness and all, don't want to be a nag either. The bear in the Hunted Part II is also just waiting outside like love sick puppy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
